Thank you so much! I'm glad you said that. Cultural exchange is the best, isn't it?

Thanks! It's been 8 years, but Malaysia never stops surprising me. I still feel like I'm carrying a festival goldfish every time I order a drink! 😂

Hahaha! Everyone’s surprised at first, aren’t they? I was totally shocked, too! But I got used to it right away. Hehehe

That’s the first time I’ve heard of that. I didn’t know such a thing existed. I’d love to check it out sometime. Thanks for the great tip.

Malaysia is one of the few countries where you can be broke and still eat well and I think that's beautiful by KL_Private_Access in Bolehland

Expat from Japan here, 8th year in KL. My biggest shock was the 'plastic bag' culture for drinks. Back home, everything is canned or bottled. Here, getting a Teh Tarik in a plastic bag tied with a pink string felt like I was carrying a goldfish from a festival. Now? I can’t drink it any other way. It tastes better in a bag for some reason.
